Miriam married her beloved soulmate Harry Weberman on October 31, 1948, with whom she had three children. Harry passed away in 2015 at age 93. Miriam was an esteemed and proud public educator. While raising their three children, Miriam first taught secular subjects at the Yeshiva in Detroit, then became a classroom and critic teacher in Detroit, a reading specialist in Warren, MI, and then principal of Walled Lake Elementary School, from which she retired in 1991. She also taught teachers to teach reading at Madonna College.
